Low Air Loss Alternating Pressure Bariatric Mattress System for Pressure Sores - 700 lbs Weight Capacity | Prius Century Gold 42" Mattress System

This Low Air Loss Alternating Pressure Bariatric Mattress System for Pressure Sores bridges the gap between patient comfort and clinical performance. For bariatric patients who spend extended hours in bed, pressure ulcer prevention is not just a comfort concern but a clinical priority. The Prius Century Gold 42" Extra Wide Mattress System is designed specifically to meet that need. Combining true alternating pressure with On Demand Low Air Loss technology, it actively redistributes weight across 21 air cells and manages moisture buildup - two critical factors behind pressure sore development in immobile or limited-mobility bariatric patients.

At those limits, cells bottom out, therapy is compromised, and the risk of pressure sores rises sharply. The Century Gold 42" is engineered from the ground up for patients up to 700 lbs: wider cells, reinforced TPU construction, and a control unit calibrated for the higher air pressure demands of bariatric care. Alternating Pressure + Low Air Loss: How It Works for Bariatric Patients The 21-cell system alternates inflation and deflation in a 2-in-1 cycle, constantly shifting pressure away from bony prominences (heels, sacrum, hips) which are especially vulnerable in larger patients due to the compounding effect of body weight. On Demand True Low Air Loss reduces the microclimate heat and moisture that accelerates skin breakdown in bariatric patients, who are more prone to sweating and skin-fold complications. Cycle times are adjustable from 10 to 30 minutes to suit individual patient tolerance and clinical orders. Safe for Caregivers. Reassuring for Families. Caring for a bariatric patient at home or in a facility comes with real physical and logistical challenges. The Century Gold 42" is designed to minimize them. Spring-loaded hooks snap securely onto most bed footboards in minutes. The slimline pump doesn't crowd the bedside. The cable management system on the underside of the mattress keeps cords off the floor - reducing trip hazards for caregivers and family members moving around the bed. And if the worst happens, the CPR Quick Release deflates the system in under 20 seconds.

This Bariatric Low Air Loss Mattress System is Perfect For: Bariatric Home Care: For patients over 400–500 lbs who have been discharged home with a hospital bed, the Century Gold 42” is one of the few extra wide bariatric mattresses that delivers true clinical-grade pressure relief outside a facility setting. Family caregivers and home health nurses can operate it confidently with the intuitive pump interface. Bariatric Nursing Home & Long-Term Care Rooms: Many facilities have designated bariatric rooms with wider beds. The Century Gold 42” fits those beds and provides the therapeutic surface management that residents with limited mobility and higher skin breakdown risk require on an ongoing basis. Post-Bariatric Surgery Recovery: Patients recovering from bariatric surgery or other procedures are often immobile for extended periods at their highest weight. The alternating pressure system actively works to prevent ulcer formation during this high-risk window, while Fowler Mode supports safe head-of-bed elevation for respiratory comfort. Bariatric Patients with Advanced ALS: Larger patients with ALS who have progressed to limited or no mobility face compounded pressure sore risk. The Century Gold 42” provides the width and therapeutic capacity needed for this population. For earlier-stage ALS patients, consider the Prius Ultra Convertible for versatile support.
